I was never the biggest God of War fan. Played them all but hack and slash not my favorite gameplay and I never found Kratos a compelling character. One dimensional and brutal. All I can say now is that I am glad to have played the original trilogy to compare me to the utter redesign and redirection of this title. Having spent that time with a character I didn't like makes following this tale of the same person so much deeper. The same can be said for the gameplay. And a sidekick that isn't completely annoying! The way Kratos has been taken from Greek mythology and placed within Norse is a nice change. While the game is still brutal and there's a lot of slashing the combat is much more robust for a player like me. It's a game that took a big risk but in doing so I think will retain old fans of God of War and welcomes new players with a compelling story and gameplay.

When I finished God of War 3, I didn't know how the story could continue. I had hoped we got more games but from a narrative standpoint, I didn't know where it could go. Well, Kratos now tackles Norse mythology and it is awesome. I initially was worried that we would have to babysit his son but I didn't find it a chore. The game is still fast and fluid and it looks incredible. Definitely one of my favorite games this year.

I initially rented this game, expecting it to be like the previous installments. I realized after 25 hours of play time that I was completely wrong. I waited for a good sale at Bestbuy to pick it up again and couldn't be happier. You will not be disappointed. The gameplay is smooth, graphics are amazing on PS4 Pro (there is a noticeable difference to me between framerate and graphics settings) and the story is great.

I enjoy this game a lot, the picture quality is excellent even for PS4. I played it on PS5 and PS4, the graphics are almost the same, ps5 has a slight edge. Great story and gameplay.

I only played a few hours of the first God of War and never got into the others. This entry into the series seemed a lot more interesting and compelling to play. I have to say that whatever minor issues I have with the game are overshadowed by the fun and interest that I get from playing it. If you're on the fence, rent it first before buying, but I'm sure that most people that like action adventure games will enjoy God of War.

The god of war story continues! The story is so deep and good and the single player campaign is perfect. Love the open world mechanics that you can do for hours. I highly recommend this game if you played the first games. You wont regret it. The music is good and the graphics practically look real.

As a fan of the original trilogy, and also the entries of the PSP/Vita days, I honestly had so many questions regarding this most recent entry. I had hoped this game would be good, but I didn't expect it to be this great. It's definitely stellar how they've expanded what Kratos is capable of and how immersive this storyline is compared to previous entries. I won't give any spoilers away, but I will say that you should play it!

God of War fans were getting weary and put off by the well worn gameplay and totally stale story of the last few Kratos centered games. This welcomed God of War reboot brings a real reworking of the gameplay mechanics and story environment while keeping much of the expected character archetypes and story paths you associate with the franchise. A great PS4 exclusive that is a must play for this console generation.

I've been an avid fan of the God of War series for since the original. And having the series come to the PS4 has been amazing. Not only is the visuals of the game in great detail, but it is also followed up with an amazing story with an interaction between Kratos and his son an experience that I will never forget as a father with my own son. If you are just a fan of videogames in general, this game needs to be in your library.

This is hands down the best game I've played in 2018. The gameplay, the artistic design, the story, the characters - everything delivers. God of War is a true showpiece of everything modern video games have become. Indeed, it's a pinnacle achievement for entertainment generally. This game shouldn't be missed by any Playstation owners, and should be strongly considered by those without the console to consider purchasing one.

I have played every other game in the God of War Series and this one did not disappoint at all. There is so much to explore and find in this game. The Story is Great and the action is so Satisfying. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves a Good story and Great Visuals. If the popular shooters are getting a little repetitive try picking up God of War... you will not regret it. Its a must have for your PS4 collection.

Take all you knew about Kratos as a 1 dimensional that was only filled with rage and toss it out the window. This is a Kratos who fulfilled his mission to kill all the Greek gods. Now we see an older, wiser and different side to Kratos. He and his son are on a mission, and Kratos must prepare his son to be a man, and in the process the son must teach Kratos how to be a father again. It's a must play game, the best GOW by far.

i have to admit at first the notion of introducing a new charactor (his child) had most people wondering if this was going to be a flop but Sony delivers another great title in the GoW franchise. immersive story and fun playing will get in the way of getting actual things other than this video game done. if you play this on a PS4 Pro with a 4K time the details are mouth watering. highly recommended to play on a big screen.

If you have not played this game I definitely recommend picking it up. It has beautiful graphics, one of the best story lines in a video game hands down. Great game play to challenge any experience level of gamer. The only disappointing thing is the boss battles after the first fight with Balder do not have the same epic feeling of a fight between gods and legendary beings.
